A NEW LAKE COMMUNITY

Horizons on Logan Martin Lake in Pell City, Alabama is a new lake
lifestyle community. As of this month, we have available for sale and
occupancy, 4 upscale town homes and 31 prime lake lots.

The community is unique in that there are 15 acres of common lake
property with 3000 feet of shoreline.

There is an 8 foot wide boardwalk the entire 3000 feet, ready
for your morning or evening walk. The clubhouse is complete
and includes an upstairs and downstairs great room and kitchen,
an exercise room, 12 foot covered porch all around, pool,
showers and much more.

You can buy your lot and plan your dream home and start enjoying all
the amenities today. Launch your boat on our private launch, dock at
your private space or just sit on the boardwalk and tan. Enjoy the
pool, take a shower before dinner and plan your own get together at
the 4000 square foot club house.

...A Cold Front Passes Thursday...

VERY LITTLE RAIN IN OUR FORECAST: The excellent spring weather in
Alabama continues. The most exciting thing we can see now (and there
is very little excitement) is another cool front that will come down
the pike Thursday. It probably will not reach Central Alabama until
late morning and by Friday morning it will be down over the North Gulf
of Mexico.

Moisture is really limited. In fact, the North American Model only
indicates 0.01 for the few showers that will move through mostly in
the afternoon and evening. We think most areas will receive 1/10 of an
inch of rain or less.

THEN WHAT: More sunshine and pleasant temperatures Friday through the
weekend. There will be some cool nights, but afternoon highs should be
between 66 and 70. The coolest temperature should come Saturday
morning with lows across Central Alabama near 40, but for sure some
upper 30s in the cooler valleys. After this weekend, we may have
another round of showers, especially by next Wednesday.

SPRING BREAK AT THE BEACH: Generally excellent weather across the
Alabama/NW Florida coast. A lot more sunshine than clouds and few, if
any, showers. High temperatures will reach 78 tomorrow, then back off
some as the front reaches the area. Over the weekend, highs should be
around 70 and lows 52 to 55.

84 YEARS AGO TODAY: Awesome tornado disaster, mainly in the Midwest.
The tornado cut a 219-mile track from Missouri to Southern Indiana.
Over much of the track it was an F5 although they were not rated back
in those days. There were 695 fatalities and over 2,000 injuries. In
later years, it is believed that this was not a single tornado,
instead that one or more tornadoes formed from the same parent
thunderstorm.

THE GREAT NORTH AMERICAN LANDSCAPE: Nome, Alaska is covered with 75
inches of snow and Whittier, Alaska 57 inches. Valdez has received an
amazing 244 inches this season. USA temperature extremes, 90 yesterday
at Laredo and Pecos, Texas, 11 this morning inside Yellowstone
National Park and 41 below zero at Nuiqsut, Alaska.

AIRBORNE CHECKS: With almost every significant tornado, we hear
reports later that checks have been found far NE of where the tornado
occurred, sometimes as much as 60 miles. But, would you believe in the
major tornado near Great Bend, Kansas way back in 1915, a cancelled
check from Great Bend was found in a cornfield near Palmyra, Nebraska
which is 305 miles to the NE. This is the longest distance that debris
has ever been carried.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Every morning when I take Little Miss
Molly for her long walk on the walking track, I never know what to
expect. This morning she had stopped to do her bathroom duties only to
glance up and see a neighbor 200 yards away walking toward us. She
immediately cancelled bathroom desires and started pulling me toward
him as fast as we could go. We stopped for a chat. A few yards later,
Molly tried to go to the bathroom again and saw the gentleman that
keeps the community grass cut, so she baled out again. A minute or two
later, the big black dog with the crooked tail came out of the
hedgerow and wanted to play. It took forever, but she enjoyed a treat
as a reward when we got home. Life goes on.
